The drama continues for the Oakland Raiders and wide receiver Antonio Brown over the use of a helmet.
Raiders general manager Mike Mayock issued an in person statement to reporters yesterday (Sunday) after Brown left training camp frustrated over not being allowed to wear the helmet he wants.
The GM made it clear that he wants to know if Brown is all in or all out after leaving camp frustrated that his preferred Schutt Air Advantage helmet failed a safety test and is now banned from use by the NFL.
Mayock said the Raiders have been supportive of Brown’s quest to wear the helmet he wants but have exhausted all options.
As of last (Sunday) night Brown had not responded on social media, however his agent Drew Rosenhaus says they are still trying to work with the team and the league and the union on a solution and they have not figured that out yet.
